| Core Tip |
Post-liver transplant biliary strictures (PTBS) are divided into anastomotic and non-anastomotic biliary strictures. Endoscopic therapy with balloon dilation of stricture followed by the placement of multiple plastic stents or fully covered self-expandable metal stents is currently the first-line therapy for PTBS. In cases of stricture recurrence, repeat endoscopic therapy remains a highly effective option. However, endoscopic treatment encounters challenges in certain conditions, such as tight or tortuous stenosis and altered anatomy, which are mitigated through advanced techniques, specialized stent designs, peroral cholangioscopy, deep enteroscopy and multidisciplinary approaches, thereby achieving long-term stricture resolution and reducing the need for surgery. |
